Gouda to Bridgetown 2008 K1 PDF Print E-mail
Some 150 plus canoeists lined up on the Berg River for the 28 km Gouda Bridge to Bridgetown section in beautiful sunshine, clear skies, no wind and a medium level river on Saturday 7th June, to compete in the 2nd of the day races that lead up to the Swartland and Berg River Canoe Marathons held on the same river.
The race ended with a new local 'King' of the day races, as the under 21 'wunderkind' from Milnerton Canoe Club, Lance King, finally beat the stalwart of W.C.C.U. canoeing these past 12 years or so, Peninsula Canoe Club's Graeme Solomon. Third was Veteran Paarl Canoe Club paddler, Donnie Malherbe.

 

The race got off to a very fast start as it was imperative to get to the two, one-canoe width narrow channels some 300 m after the start. King managed this, but was soon caught by the charging bunch which by the time Black Rock Rapid was reached included the above three plus the likes of P-W Basson (Paarl), Pierre-Andre Rabie (US) and Gavin White (Milnerton). The 2nd bunch, and chasing hard, consisted of Eugene van der Westhuizen (Mil), Greg van Heerden (Mil), Sean Rice (PEN), Greg Barnard (PEN) and Ian Trautmann (PEN).


Black Rock proved a disaster for Basson, who took a swim in its single, deep and fast-flowing channel, but King and Solomon, opting for the portage on the right bank, shattered the front bunch and broke away, putting nearly 70 m on the rest of the group. King made a break in the channels approaching Train Bridge, but was caught at a tree block under the Heuningberg, about 10 minutes later and had to wait until after the Drie Gewels Weir and in the tricky channels before the final flat sprint to Bridgetown to make his break, holding off a charging Solomon and Malberbe by 4 and 8 seconds respectively. Notwithstanding the excellent racing by these top three, is it significant that none of them constitute Senior Men? King is Under 21, Solomon is a Sub Veteran (i.e. over 35) and Malherbe is a Veteran (over 40). And in the top ten places we find only 2 senior men placing (P-W Basson and Gavin White) - the remainder being either Under 21's (Pierre-Andre Rabie and Sean Rice) or in the Sub Veteran (Greg van Heerden and Greg Barnard) and Veteran (Eugene van der Westhuizen) categories!


The ladies section was totally dominated by Abbey Miedema (Harmony-Cape) coming in 11 minutes ahead of 2nd placed Lindi-May Harmse (MIL), with Jemma Hofmeyr (PEN) making 3rd spot. The return to river racing from next week of Alexa (Lombard) Cole from Peninsula, will see the women's event notch up considerably as these two outstandingly talented paddlers (and K2 Duzi partners and champions) renew their rivalry on the river in the Swartland Marathon.


Perhaps the outstanding result of the day after the winning of the event by an Under 21 paddler, was the 13th place by Grandmaster Roelof van Riet (Grandmaster is the over 60 years category), who came home in a time of 2 hours 25 minutes and 46 seconds. This is a remarkable result even considering his track record which includes amongst others, National Colours, Berg and Dusi River River Championships and with long time paddling partner, Andre Collins, World Championship titles in the K2 event of their age category each year for the past 5 years.


Of good news for the future were the top two (Under 16) juniors, Ivan Kruger (MIL) and Joseph Williams (PAARL) who managed to finish in the top 35 places with Kruger 29th and Williams, 35th. The 3rd Under 16 home was Emile Minnaar, whilst Milnerton's Luke Stowman, an under 14 paddler came home in 85th spot.


The scene is now set for next weekends 2 day, Swartland River Marathon, between Wellington and Bridgetown (86 kilometres - 43 km per day) and it is likely to be a 'shoot out' of high drama as the defending champion, Graeme Solomon, will be planning to head-off Lance King, whilst the latter will be doing everything in his power to 'out-shoot' the top W.C.C.U. paddler of the previous decade.
